印度輪姦案四人被判死刑

A court in India has sentenced to death by hanging four men convicted in the fatal gang rape of a young woman on a bus in New Delhi late last year.

In his ruling Friday, Judge Yogesh Khanna said the crime falls under the "rarest of rare" category warranting death.

One of the four men broke down in tears as the sentence was read.

The father of the victim said he was relieved that his daughter had gotten justice.

The 23-year-old victim was raped and assaulted with an iron bar in December. Her male companion was also beaten before both were thrown off the bus. The woman died of her injuries two weeks after the attack in a Singapore hospital, where she had been taken for treatment.

The woman's attack set off furious protests across India about the treatment of women in the country and led to an overhaul of India's sexual assault laws.印度一家法庭作出裁決，判處四名男子絞刑。這四名被告去年年底在新德里一輛公交車上輪姦一名年輕女性並致其死亡。

法官康納在星期五的裁決中說，這項處罰屬於“罕見的死刑量刑中最爲罕見的”案例。

法官宣讀死刑判決時，其中一名被告當場淚流滿面。

受害人父親說，女兒得到了公正，他感到欣慰。

時年23歲的受害女子去年12月遭到被告強姦和鐵棍毆打，然後被拋出車外。之後，這名受害女子被送到新加坡一家醫院接受治療，兩個星期後傷重不治身亡。

這名女子的遭遇，在印度各地引發了有關印度婦女地位、待遇的憤怒抗議，並導致印度性侵犯法律的修改。
